cdz was never released in brazil, we do have jpn units here that were independently imported. I noticed Dion said in assembler that there where colored boxed cdzs in brazil, but that never happened. I follow the Brazilian online market for 13 years already. If it was out there I would have seen it by now. I meant argue this with him on that forum but that guy is not worth my little free time.

All top loaders, transcoded to PAL-M (a variation of NTSC but with the PAL-N color stream), Portuguese bios setting, (both Euro and USA jumpers active), games start directly in Portuguese mode when available, works in 1995 to 1998 releases and fully localized packaging material.

I have a huge collection of Neo Geo do Brasil neocd ads and flyers scans that I can zip to you.

and last, I've been postponing to help out with the neocd games scans project due to lack of free time. I do have a flatbed scanner and 3/4 of a complete ngcd collection plus I can scan some non-available material like the portuguese neocd manual and the Samsho2 cd translated manual that's the only game manual I've seen in Portuguese.

thanks for your answer, yes i have the information of the CDZ of Dion, so NG do Brazil never import this console in brazil ? for the NeoGeo CD top loading could i use your picture for my site ?
If you can scan all the documentation of Brazil it will be very Helpfull
I buy 4 game with manuel in Portugues but i have not yet : Top Hunter, View Point, Raguy, FF3

Thanks again,
if you have more information on neogeo do bazil, i am very intereste by that,
it's very difficult to have information on the NeoGeo CD, and especialy on the south continent
so this compagny work between 1995 to 1998 ?
you live in New Zealand ? What is the situtation in this contry and Australia ?

so the console have an specifique Bios ?
if you active Euro and USA jumpers, what have you exactlly ?

From 1995 to 1998, Neo Geo do Brasil had an enduring market campaign with ads in vg magazines in order to stay relevant against Sony, Sega and Nintendo.

The branch closed doors on the very beginning of 1999 when Brazil dropped it's currency parity with U.S. dollars. From 1BRL = 1USD overnight it became 3BRL = 1USD, tripling the price of every SNK product for local customers, basically.

About the Brazil region for the NGCD, it's both USA and EUR jumpers active. Bios wise is the same, it depends if the game support this feature, like most of SNK releases from 1995 starting with Super Sidekick 3 to KOF99. The game boots directly into Portuguese language, of course the game must have that option and if it doesn't the system behave like a USA system.

I don't know if there are other jumpers combinations, I never played around with the jumper module, there are four parameters and two can active at the same time, it offers lots of combinations to try. Again the software must support it, I don't know if SNK planned to offer other regions. Only that SNK planned the Brazil region from the go, as even the first batch of systems assembled here was dual jumpered.

Besides the system boxes that carry "Produzido na Zona Franca de Manaus" which means "Assembled in the Free Economic Zone of Manaus" the system also display that info in the back sticker. I've upload some shots at my ngcd album along with the BRA system region jumper shot.

I have no merit, a frenchman who know my work (and help me for scan and html) send me the picture of his last purchase, and because he are not very interested he sold me but i must buy the game with the manuel because all are new... XD
But yes i am very happy because i never see this before
